Start with the foundations
GIS training for beginners
GIS stands for geographic information systems: tools for working with data that has a location. If you are learning GIS online for the first time, start by understanding your data, then build a map before moving on to analysis.
- 01 · Understand
Get to know spatial data
Points, lines, and polygons represent individual features. Rasters divide an area into cells. Check the attributes, source, and coordinate system of each layer before using it.
- 02 · Practice
Make your first useful map
Choose a small dataset and a question. Add the layers, check that locations line up, and choose symbols that explain the data. Include a title, legend, and source when sharing your map.
- 03 · Apply
Work through an analysis
Follow a complete tutorial, compare your intermediate outputs with its checkpoints, and record the settings you used. Explain what the final map can and cannot tell you.
A GIS step by step guide you can put into practice
Learn by doing: read the requirements, download the practice data, follow each operation, and check the output before continuing. Our tutorials bring instructions, settings, and reference images together so you can concentrate on the workflow.
